We dig deep into how new forms of technology are good for people that dont have other outlets of expressing themselves and how race plays into the politics of the entertainment business.

UPDATE: Last week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has inducted to 683 new members. Of which, over 40% are people of color. This brings the percentage of people of color within the Academy from 8% to 11%. More on this next week here at Cinematic Immunity but you can find links to this information below.

EPISODE 39: Mark Weingartner, VFX Director of Photography
On this week's show, we air the first half of our interview with Mark H. Weingartner, Visual Effects Director of Photography, who came down to the studio and took the time to explain some of the most complex visual effects sequences and talk about his experiences that led him to be one of the leading Directors of Photography for Visual Effects in Hollywood.
We talk about how to make "grist for the digital mill" and the distinction between visual effects and practical effects and we discovered that sometimes, talking about guilty movie pleasures can be more fun than talking about the big shows as we loop back around three times to Under Siege!

Hey everybody and welcome back to the first episode of the new season of Cinematic Immunity. Its been 18 months since we brought you the last episode so we figured to pick up the new season right where left off with Visual Effects Cinematographer Christopher Lee Warren. But before we get into that, Bryan and I just wanted to say thanks to all of you out there that have supported and continue to support us. Bryan Hart, who will be back with us live next week, sends his regards.

We'd like to give a special thanks to some friends out there in podcast land who have repped us and we appreciate it. @TheCarlOlsen and his guest @RickDelgado from the Digital Convergence Podcast sent a major shout out last week, thanks for that fellas. Earlier this year in January, Jason Marin from the Casting Light podcast (@Podcastinglight) rebroadcast the full episode of our interview with Haskell Wexler shortly after his passing. For those of you that don’t know, Haskell Wexler has been a part of film history and political action for over 5 decades and has had an amazing list of credits and achievements too long for me to list here. Jason, we thank you for making sure that that podcast got out there again. Haskell was our very first guest at the studio and we were happy to have had the time. Although at the time of his passing we had already begun recording interviews and were beginning to start the show up, we were not ready to start up the podcast engine just yet, so Jason, thanks for showing the love. And now, on with the show!

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

Plus, we talk set safety, the process of getting union membership, and the wonders of technology - because walkie-talkies are your friend. Enjoy!

Weingartner, Visual Effects Director of Photography, who came down to the studio and took the time to explain some of the most complex visual effects sequences and talk about his experiences that led him to be one of the leading Directors of Photography for Visual Effects in Hollywood.
We talk about how to make "grist for the digital mill" and the distinction between visual effects and practical effects and we discovered that sometimes, talking about guilty movie pleasures can be more fun than talking about the big shows as we loop back around three times to Under Siege!

Karyn Wagner joins us to talk about how she went from being "the
best-dressed camera assistant ever" to designing the costumes forThe Green
Mile, Friday Night Lights and The Notebook, where she finds the inspiration
for her designs, and how a she can make you hate a character without him
ever saying a word.

Karyn Wagner began by telling us about her Hollywood upbringing, family history (another 3rd generation set brat!), her education, and her start in the biz. She is Cinematic Immunity's first guest from the Costume Department, so we take a lint-roller to the politics, crewing, and unique challenges of dressing actors for film and television. It was an eye opener to learn just how much work and effort goes into yet another area of filmmaking that gets far too little attention. From Wardrobe Supervisors to Key Costumers to Cutters to Fitters to Milliners, we find out who is making it all happen.

Hear how Karyn went from being "the best-dressed camera assistant ever" to designing the costumes forThe Green Mile,Friday Night LightsandThe Notebook, where she finds the inspiration for her designs, and how a costume designer can make you hate a character without him ever saying a word, all on this week's episode of the Cinematic Immunity podcast.

]]>Cinematic Immunity She is Cinematic Immunity's first guest from the Costume Department, so we take a lint-roller to the politics, crewing, and unique challenges of dressing actors for film and television.Karyn Wagner began by telling us about her Hollywood upbringing, family history (another 3rd generation set brat!), her education, and her start in the biz. She is Cinematic Immunity's first guest from the Costume Department, so we take a lint-roller to the politics, crewing, and unique challenges of dressing actors for film and television. It was an eye opener to learn just how much work and effort goes into yet another area of filmmaking that gets far too little attention. From Wardrobe Supervisors to Key Costumers to Cutters to Fitters to Milliners, we find out who is making it all happen. Hear how Karyn went from being "the best-dressed camera assistant ever" to designing the costumes forThe Green Mile, Friday Night Lights and The Notebook, where she finds the inspiration for her designs, and how a costume designer can make you hate a character without him ever saying a word, all on this week's episode of the Cinematic Immunity podcast.no1:27:00Ep. 27: David Lawrence - ComposerComposingEditingEntertainmentFilmFeature FilmFilmmakingInterviewMoviesPodcastProducingShow BusinessTelevisionMusicScoreFilm CrewEducationCinematic ImmunityTue, 07 Oct 2014 15:00:00 +0000http://www.cinematicimmunitycast.com/episodes/27-lawrence530bca01e4b0ee38396f0b61:53462cc9e4b03960bb9c054d:53f4f3dce4b04c18154c090aThanks to David Lawrence's impressive musical pedigree, the successful
composer can include "being around Sammy Davis, Jr. and Frank Sinatra" on
his list of the many life-altering experiences he had growing up as the son
of legendary entertainers, Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gormé.
Lawrence sat down with Cinematic Immunity and discussed his greatest
influences, his artistic process, the nuts and bolts of being a film &
television composer, working successfully with extreme time-tables, and the
creative tug-of-war between directors and studios. From adding hairpins on
the strings, to subtracting that repeating drum loop, it's an introduction
into a whole new area of the filmmaking process that you won't want to
miss!
Special thanks to Pancho Burgos-Goizueta, for his help in welcoming David
Lawrence to the Cinematic Immunity podcast!

EPISODE 39: Mark Weingartner, VFX Director of Photography
On this week's show, we air the first half of our interview with Mark H. Weingartner, Visual Effects Director of Photography, who came down to the studio and took the time to explain some of the most complex visual effects sequences and talk about his experiences that led him to be one of the leading Directors of Photography for Visual Effects in Hollywood.
We talk about how to make "grist for the digital mill" and the distinction between visual effects and practical effects and we discovered that sometimes, talking about guilty movie pleasures can be more fun than talking about the big shows as we loop back around three times to Under Siege!

"I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work; I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in someway to the culture I was living in."
Rip to a beautiful artist.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit! Back to the Future! Apollo 13!

Our conversation with renowned cinematographer Dean Cundey continues, as we discuss the filmmaking innovations that resulted from the challenges of Roger Rabbit not existing on-location, and getting special assistance from the Oval Office to solve pesky gravity problems on a certain spaceship set.

Plus, Dean takes us behind the scenes of one of our all-time favorites, spilling some of the secrets from the greatest movie trilogy ever made about a time-traveling teenager, his friend, Doc, and a souped-up DeLorean.

We hope you'll enjoy part two of our interview with the great Dean Cundey!

EPISODE 39: Mark Weingartner, VFX Director of Photography
On this week's show, we air the first half of our interview with Mark H. Weingartner, Visual Effects Director of Photography, who came down to the studio and took the time to explain some of the most complex visual effects sequences and talk about his experiences that led him to be one of the leading Directors of Photography for Visual Effects in Hollywood.
We talk about how to make "grist for the digital mill" and the distinction between visual effects and practical effects and we discovered that sometimes, talking about guilty movie pleasures can be more fun than talking about the big shows as we loop back around three times to Under Siege!
